What waders are you guys running?

I was on season 5 or 6 with one pair of my Chene waders this year (bought them during the preorder before they launched). Developed a hole in the right leg. I ran them up to the store since it's not too far from my duck camp. They called me a few days later saying they can't be repaired, "what pattern do you want?". Walked out the next day with a brand new replacement pair.

Hard to beat their customer service.

I generally don't run in my waders.

High-n-dry waders. Been through 2 seasons now and holding up great. No leaks or tears.

I bought high and dry waders in 2023. Rough guess is I have 210 days wearing them?? Still dry. Never in my life have I had a breathable pair last this long.

Same experience with me this year with Chene but I will say Sitka did the same for me this year as well, I have had both for about 5 years with both being repaired a couple of times. Chene is typically quicker on the repairs but neither have ever charged me. I was very impressed by them both replacing waders that couldn't be repaired after having them that long. I was going through 2-3 pairs of cheaper breathables a year so in the long run I have saved a pile of money.
